Post a random fact about yourself

My true best friends growing up was my Old white farm bulldog BJ and my aunts Horse Comanche.
I have never fallen off a equine I have falling under a equine while riding bear back I had to hang on to her stomach for dear life till my uncle could help me.
I still miss all my animals who have crossed over the rainbow bridge and I cry on the dates or months they passed away in.
I had a rescue horse and a paint mare who was worth a bit of money however I would say my little rescue horse buddy was worth more then her any day. Not that she was not loved but Buddy was my baby and I loved him so much.
-I sleep with about 5 stuffed animals my baby blanket from when I was 4 and under about 9 to 10 blankets at night
- I have dreams sometimes of stuff that will happen or that show something is wrong. This is both helpful and scary.

Hunniebun I hate it when people are like that. I am waiting to get on Disability too. I lost my job because of my aliments. You deserve to have a full happy life no matter what ever one does.
 
I love power tools! I do all the work on the house that requires cutting wood, drilling holes, etc.

I have a horrible short-term memory. My fiance jokes that I'm Dory the fish from Finding Nemo.

I love sailing 18th and 19th century tall ships. I used to volunteer at the one in San Diego, the Star of India, and I worked in a shipyard for awhile. Part of me wants to forget my digital art career path and go into the maritime industry after I graduate.

I always wished I was a boy when I was younger, and every time I come across chauvinist obstacles the thought pops up. But I am becoming more comfortable being a girl as I get older.

I love buying toys, but I often sneak them in and hide them under the bed so my fiance will not see them and make fun of me.

OMG me too!!! One year in high school I put a cordless drill on my Christmas list and I totally got it! That baby has helped me do more set building sessions and home repairs than I can count. After more than 10 years the battery is finally crapping out on me and I need to put it on my Christmas list again.
 
Fibro is part of my list evilbunny, its SO debilitating, especially the muscle pain and the chronic fatigue.
 
- I am color blind Reds/pinks Green/blues
_ I have naturally dilated pupils this make seeing in low light and in the dark pretty awesome. Seeing in the day time with out sunglasses is painful and gives me headaches
- By my states law I am considered blind to a degree with out my glass not sightless but everything looks like runny water colors.

When I was 17 I was able to go Albany and talk with the state senator about gender identity rights and equality for transgender people.

Jealous! I've wanted to go to some sort of MOGAI event ever since I got into social justice. As someone who is polysexual and trans (non binary), it'd mean a lot to me to be able to attend.

Anyway, here are a couple facts about me.

-I'm addicted to soaps, lotions and other sorts of beauty products. My shower is absolutely stuffed with different shower gels and soaps.
I'm a big fan of Bath and Body works, lol.
-I have a terribad habit of eating while I'm on the computer. In fact, I'm stuffing McDonald's french fries in my mouth as I type this.
-I've been a big fan of Pokemon all my life and I consider all of the ones I own in game to be my children.
Especially my Charizard, Winston.
-I have to take pills every night to actually gain weight from the things I eat. I call them my "Piggy Pills" cuz
they make me eat like a pig.
-I'm autistic, and one of the things that shows it in me is the fact that I can't read large walls of text.
Anything longer than maybe 4 sentences is impossible for me. I need to have those paragraph breaks.
-I'm married to at least 26 fictional characters. Not one is male.
-Also, I have the attention span of a potato.

-I have a number of health problems from minor to life threatening (Lupus tops the list) and they are all invisible. I get judged all the time and told I don't deserve the money because there is clearly nothing wrong with me because someone can't see it. And at the same time, I am not allowed to have a life or have fun according to the general public because if I am "sick enough" to need DA, then I shouldn't be able to do ANYTHING but stay home all day every day.

Oh, I understand.... Believe me, I do. *Hugs* I actually just got confronted about this not even an hour ago by someone I barely know. And now they know... that it is absolutely none of their business, that is.


For my random thing, I guess I'll go with the one that freaks people out the most: I can't stand chocolate! :tongue:
 
@Hunniebun I'm so sorry to hear you're ill and I'm so sorry to hear you have to get disability. Disability is the only way to go when you're so sick but they treat you like crap. I have Erythromelalgia. It's sort of the cousin of Fibromyalgia. I'm in constant burning pain. Every inch of my body feels like it's on fire and I'm allergic to sunlight. I also have Raynaud's syndrome so I can't get anything cold on my skin or it melts and burns. Right now I'm in the process of applying for disability (for the third time) and waiting for the 3rd year to go to court. The disability doctors are so nasty and so cruel. My disease is worse in my ears. If my ears get touched I can a full body 'attack' and one jerk actually yanked on my ears to see if I was faking it. I had to go straight to the ER after that and he still put me down as healthy. I also know your pain of not being able to go out and about because of fear of being judged. I also understand how it feels to have a disease that affects you on the inside. My skin turns purple when I get sick but besides that no one can tell that I am sick. I look healthy and people often call me a hypochondriac for it. I also feel like I can't go outside and enjoy life because of it. I'm only 19 and I'm on 24 hour bed rest and people are always judging me. It really freakin sucks.

Sorry for the long paragraph. I really do know the way you feel. I go through this everyday and I know what it is to have a chronic disease. I know what it's like to deal with disability and I'm so sorry you have to go through both *hugs* No one deserves to live in such pain.
 
Big Hugs to those who are in pain , I do hope those awful disability Doctors can put aside all the red tape and help you :)
My random for the day.

I have night terrors and frequently wake up the family in the middle of the night with my piercing screams.
 
It breaks my heart knowing so many of our number are ill and in pain. If I could take it away from you, I certainly would. I'd give every Pony and comic I own away to give you health.

It makes me grateful that most of what's wrong with me (PTSD, depression) can be controlled with drugs. The migraines and apparent brain damage... well. If it don't kill me, I ain't gonna give it the time o' day. I worry about fibro, as two of three blood sisters have it (and one of my adopted sissies. How weird is that?). I do have problems with fatigue, but put it down to stress. I don't have to time to be sick. Nyah.

I am happy to hear about so many tool lovers! I just got a new reciprocating saw (almost more saw than I can handle it's so powerful). I need it to tear out our bathroom and bedroom floors so I can drop in new flooring then build shelving. Can't wait to get destructive then constructive!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm so proud of those of you that fight so hard for the rights of all. My partner and I are closeted, have been for 13 years. It would be practical suicide (not just social suicide, it could literally get us killed here where we live) for us to come out. You may not change some people's perspectives, but every heart you sway is a move in the right direction.

Acceptance, not tolerance.
 
Aw, thank you, Sapphire. I should mention though, I have some very decent neighbours who would do all they could to protect us. Most people are good. I sincerely believe that.

It's something you expect when you live in a tiny community with lotsa bigots. Heck, we even get razzed for being the "token minorities" because my family is Choctaw (my partner is NA too, so they think she's just another one of my million siblings and we do nothing to correct that belief). Still, weeks might go by without me talking to a neighbour, we're pretty spread out.

Which is good should the zombie apocalypse start. I need space to build a fort! :winkpony:
 
I can relate to that. Don't be fooled by the fact that I live in Minnesota.
The closer to Iowa you get, the more it feels like you're actually in Texas.

I'm still afraid to wear pride stuff in public because of this. That, and my mom is friends with Mrs. Racist Homophobe across the street. :|
 
- I am a recovering cutter. I did not do this for long only a few months and it took the support of friends and family to help me work through it. I still get tempted especially when I am up set or have episodes with my depression. I have scars all over my arms from it and I hate it when people who don't know me say what did you do that? You could just not do it? I don't think they understand what goes on it peoples head. Walk a mile in my shoes and have some one say that to you.
-I have anxiety as well and I am prone to having Episodes of despair.
_ I have always been and always be a glass half empty person. I cant see passed tomorrow all I hope is I wake up and keep moving.
- I am working through my depression too. So much has happen in the last two years I could wright a book on it.
 
@evilbunnyfoofoo It makes me so angry that you have to deal with bigots. It's frustrating to hear that in 2014 people still have to hide or be careful just because others are intolerant. *hugs* I'm glad you at least have nice neighbors around you.
 
i've loved keeping up with this thread! so many interesting things... i didn't know there were so many other members of the lgbtqia family here on mlptp! :) i don't necessarily feel attached to any gender or sexuality but i feel generally male but live my life mostly as what society would consider to be a girl? sounds weird, but it's me!

While I myself am Asexual I live in a town that sounds like where you live. Heck a African American or other races comes or be LGBT through and its like OMG really there here in our town. the churches put up signs that say just cause some place have marriage equality its a sin blah blah blah. Kinda thing. I am so sorry you have to go through that* HUGDS* I really hate it when people do that kinda stuff to others.

- Originally, I was going to be a doctor, but after an extremely stressful ER visit that resulted in my mom having emergency gall bladder removal, and my dad was overseas, so I had to take care of everything, I changed my mind and decided to focus on my art.
- I read medical and science textbooks for fun and have done so since I could read.
- I don't have many close friends. I only really "hang out" and talk with my boyfriend and immediate family.
- I was diagnosed with anxiety before Christmas last year and with mild depression this spring. My family and boyfriend know about the anxiety because I was put on medication. I didn't tell them, or any one, until now about the depression.
